CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2009-0135387 filed Dec. 31, 2009, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a metal complex derivative having a saturated N-heterocyclic carbene derivative and an olefin ligand at the same time and a method for preparing the same. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing a silane compound by hydrosilylation reaction using the metal complex derivative as a catalyst.

BACKGROUND ART

Organosilicon compounds are produced by formation of Si—C bonds. Especially, hydrosilylation describes the addition reaction between an organosilicon compound having a Si—H bond and an unsaturated hydrocarbon such as olefin or acetylene derivatives. Typically, the reaction is performed in the presence of a metal catalyst. A hydrosilylation reaction of an olefin may be represented by Scheme 1:

For the metal complex catalyst, group 10 transition metal compounds are known to be effective for the hydrosilylation reaction. In particular, platinum-based compounds are industrially widely used as catalyst. Historically, chloroplatinic acid (H₂PtCl₆/^(i)PrOH) was first known to be an effective catalyst in the hydrosilylation reaction in 1957 [Speier, J. L. and Hook, D. E. U.S. Pat. No. 2,823,218 (1958); Speier, John L., Webster, James A. and Barnes, Garrett H. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1957, 79, 974-9]. Bailey, D. L. and Snyder, N.Y. reported catalytic activity of platinum supported on alumina (Pt@g-alumina) [U.S. Pat. No. 2,970,150, 1961]. However, the hydrosilylation reaction described in the above US patents is economically unfavorable because a large quantity of platinum catalyst has to be used.

At present, in most industrial-scale preparation of organosilicon compounds by hydrosilylation, the Karstedt catalyst, i.e. a platinum complex in oxidation state 0, is used. The general formula of the Karstedt complex is Pt₂[(CH₂═CH)Me₂Si—O—SiMe₂(CH═CH₂)]₃ [Karstedt, B. D., U.S. Pat. No. 3,775,452, 1973]. The Karstedt catalyst has a drawback that it is unstable during hydrosilylation, which can be ascertained by the precipitation of metallic platinum in the reaction medium and the formation of insoluble colloid. The instability of the catalyst in the reaction medium may result in decrease in catalytic activity. Furthermore, the instability of the Karstedt catalyst induces the formation of colored hydrosilylation products, thereby resulting in a cloudy, colored solution. Besides, because of production of byproduct, the Karstedt catalyst gives a low yield from hydrosilylation reaction. In addition to the desired product, byproducts resulting from isomerization and/or hydrogenation of the olefinic double bond are obtained.

In order to solve the problems of the Karstedt catalyst, Marko et al. reported a new catalyst [WO 2001/42,258], which is a metal complex

containing an unsaturated 5-membered N-heterocyclic carbene (U-NHC₅). The patent restrictively describes hydrosilylation of a hydrosilane ((bissilyloxy)hydrosilane: Me₃SiO—SiHMe—OSiMe₃). The hydrosilane is a component of hydrosilicone oil and is widely used in the silicone industry. Although the carbene metal complex catalyst developed by Marko et al. is advantageous in that it is relatively stable under air and the metal complex structure is maintained during storage and hydrosilylation, catalytic activity of hydrosilylation is unsatisfactory.

DISCLOSURE Technical Problem

The inventors of the present invention, in an effort to develop a method for the effective preparation of silane compounds, have succeeded in synthesizing a metal complex derivative having a saturated N-heterocyclic carbene derivative, not an unsaturated N-heterocyclic carbene, of a specific structure and an olefin ligand of a specific structure at the same time, and found that when the metal complex derivative is used as a catalyst in the preparation of organosilicon compounds, the rate of hydrosilylation reaction and the yield of the silane compound can be improved.
